Level 2 U/S

We had our "big" u/s this past week & I am so happy to report that everything looks great. I was convinced there would be plenty of markers for downs syndrome. I am so glad that I was so wrong! Of course the doctor wouldn't let me be thrilled over this. He had to be such a bummer & tell me that 2/3's of ds babies will show up on ultrasound, but the other 1/3 look normal. Therefore, I am not in the clear yet. I declined the amnio & actually had to sign a waiver that I didn't want it. So all in all, I guess it was the best possible appointment we could have had given the circumstances.

We also decided not to find out the gender. We asked if it was possible to let us know at a later date if we changed our minds. The tech actually gave us an envelope with a picture inside telling us if it is a boy or a girl. I know if I open it I am going to be so mad at myself, so for now I haven't been tempted. I have a feeling it is a boy....but most of my family thinks it is a girl. For now, I will just wait & see! We haven't even discussed names, and I honestly haven't even thought of any. Any suggestions?

School starts next week & I am very nervous because I know I don't even know what I am in for! How do you handle working & then coming home to take care of kids? I was always the last one out of the building & one of the first ones there in the morning. That is NOT going to be the case now.....how do you do it?

Well, that it is for now....Goodnight! :)
